About me

Core Process Psychotherapy

I was inspired by my own personal experience of Mindfulness Based Core Process Psychotherapy to begin training as a psychotherapist.

Maura Sills, founder of Core Process Psychotherapy, suggests that as wounding happens in relationship then healing needs to happen in relationship too. This for me, is the heart of the practice of psychotherapy, the relationship between therapist and client and how we can work together.

I am now a senior trainee in Mindfulness Based Core Process Psychotherapy (UKCP accredited).
